A friend bought a 67 roadster for a driver, and found it had a generic Holley replacement carb with a banjo fitting/hose barb on the inlet. The previous owner had run a rubber hose from the fuel pump to the carb. (It's a wonder more Corvettes don't burn up.)
Original L79 carburetors appear to have a front bowl with a large boss cast into it, angling down about 45 degrees, for the fuel line fitting. Is there any way to convert this carb to the original configuration to avoid using a rubber hose for the inlet fuel line, or alternately, using a short coupling hose to a factory-style steel line?
